Maria Kheirkhah
b. 1961, Iran
A sense of being located historically and socially is fundamental to a sense of belonging and participating in the creative process of a particular culture. If cultural belonging-ness resides in those discourses which call upon collective memory, then with a lack of access to the elements of that memory, along with a sense of dislocation, comes a feeling of loss of cultural cohesion. — Lola Young
